Journal of Literary Multilingualism brill.com/jlm Instructions for Authors Scope The Journal of Literary Multilingualism (JLM) explores texts written in non-native languages, in a mix of languages and alternating languages. It examines a wide range of literary practices from around the globe broadly defined by multilingual and multicultural situations. We welcome contributions that examine multilingual authors, texts, readers, and contexts, as well as cultural phenomena and societal issues, as they relate to literary texts and multilingual processes in all historical periods. As the first international journal devoted entirely to this emerging interdisciplinary field, it offers a forum for cutting-edge research across the humanities and social sciences. Ethical and Legal Conditions The publication of a manuscript in a peer-reviewed work is expected to follow standards of ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: authors, editors, and reviewers. Authors, editors, and reviewers should thoroughly acquaint themselves with Brill’s publication ethics, which may be downloaded here: brill.com/page/ethics/publication-ethics-cope-compliance. Online Submission The Journal of Literary Multilingualism uses online submission only. Authors should submit their manuscript via the Editorial Manager (EM) online submission system at: editorialmanager.com/jlm. First-time users of EM need to register first. Go to the website and click on the "Register Now" link in the login menu. Enter the information requested. During registration, you can fill in your username and password. If you should forget your Username and Password, click on the "Send Username/Password" link in the login section, and enter your first name, last name, and e-mail address exactly as you entered it when you registered. Your access codes will then be e-mailed to you. Prior to submission, authors are encouraged to read the entire “Instructions for Authors.” When submitting via the website, you will be guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of the various files. A revised document is uploaded the same way as the initial submission. All correspondence, including the editor’s request for revision and final decision, is sent by e-mail. Double-blinded Peer Review JLM uses a double-blind peer review system, which means that manuscript author(s) do not know who the reviewers are, and that reviewers do not know the names of the author(s). When you send your article to the editor, please submit two files: a separate title page file that includes the full title of the manuscript, the names and complete contact details of all authors (ORCID number if available, title, department, institution, city, country), the abstract, keywords, and any acknowledgement texts (this file will not be accessible to the referees), and an anonymized manuscript file. All files (manuscript, figures, tables, etc.) should not contain any information concerning author names, institutions, etc. The names of these files and the document properties should also be anonymized.

Journal of Literary Multilingualism brill.com/jlm Instructions for Authors Contact Address For additional information or if you need help in uploading your manuscript please visit the author tutorial or online help links given at the right side of the log-in window. For questions about Editorial Manager directly, authors can contact: support-em@brill.com. For remaining questions please contact the Editor-in- Chief, Natasha Lvovich: literarymultilingualism@gmail.com. File Format Please send source files such as .doc (word files), and not .pdf files. Submission Requirements Papers that are submitted for initial consideration should be complete, including all notes, bibliographical references, tables, etc. The manuscript pages should be numbered consecutively, double-spaced and with wide margins on all sides. Language Articles should be written in English. Brill’s preferred language for typesetting is American English, if you prefer to write in British English, please make this explicit to the Editor-in-Chief (we will then apply appropriate hyphenation rules). Spelling should be consistent throughout, whichever you choose. Typography Authors are discouraged from submitting typographically elaborate contributions. Emphasis in the text (bold, letter spacing, italics) should be used sparingly. Italics should be reserved for titles of works in the running text of the contribution (e.g.: in Carolus Stuardus by Andreas Gryphius and should not be used for the titles of poems: in Opitz’ “Auff Herrn David Müllers Seeligen Abschied”). Latin concepts are not italicized. In English language contributions, uncommon foreign terms may be italicized as usual. Unicode and Non-Roman Fonts The Editors request the use of Unicode fonts only. For the complete list of Latin and IPA characters in Unicode: brill.com/fileasset/downloads_static/static_fonts_latinipaunicodelist.pdf. Transliteration and Orthography Where possible, all examples from languages not using the Latin alphabet should be transliterated using an accepted system of transliteration. Authors should use their chosen system consistently throughout the manuscript. Where no standard system has been adopted in the literature (e.g. examples of certain dialects never described before), use symbols to represent sounds that are as close to the IPA symbols as possible, and give explanations where appropriate.

Citations in the Text Long stretches of in-text references should be provided in footnotes rather than in the main text. Please only give the last name of the author, the year and, if applicable, the page number(s): Breiner (1996: 158-167) or (Breiner, 1996). In-text references to more than one author should be as follows: (Wierzbicka, 1991; Montes, 1999: 36). The full details should be given in the final section of the article, under “References”. Quotations Short “Quotes” from primary or secondary sources should be retained within the body of the text and should be indicated as such using double quotation marks. Punctuation that belongs to the quoted material should be placed before the closing double quotation mark; punctuation that originates from the author should be placed after the closing quotation mark. Longer quotations (more than four lines in the typescript) should be displayed as block quotes in left-to-right indented form in a separate paragraph, single spaced and without quotation marks. Expressions used in the sense of ‘so-called’ (e.g. 17th century ‘Erbauungsliteratur’) as well as quotations within quotations should be enclosed in single quotation marks. Spelling within quotes should reflect the original. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of quotations. The journal uses only quotation marks in “international” style. Quotations in Original Language Quotes in the original language appear first, followed by the English translation in square brackets. Square brackets are not necessary if it is a block quote. In that case, the translation would be the second block quote. Last revised on 12 April 2023 page 7 of 9
Journal of Literary Multilingualism brill.com/jlm Instructions for Authors Figures and Tables Figures and tables should be numbered with Arabic numerals and cited consecutively in the text. Figures should be submitted as separate source files in .eps, .tif, or .jpg format, in a size suitable for the typesetting area of the journal. The resolution of these files should be at least 300 dpi for half-tone figures, and 600 dpi for line drawings. Number the files and indicate in the manuscript where they are to appear (Fig. 1 here). For the reproduction of black and white (or colored) illustrations high resolution files (format: JPEG) are to be provided. A resolution of 300 dpi is sufficient for images of printed material (title pages, etc.). The text in a figure must be legible and should not be smaller than corps 7. The size of this lettering for any text in a figure should be the same for all figures in the manuscript. Publication Proofs Upon acceptance, a PDF of the article proofs will be sent to the author by e-mail to check carefully for factual and typographic errors. In the event of a multi-authored contribution, proofs are sent to the first- named author unless otherwise requested. Authors are responsible for checking these proofs and are strongly urged to make use of the Comment & Markup toolbar to note their corrections directly on the proofs. Proofs should be returned promptly. The wording of a contribution as submitted by the author and approved by the editors is binding, so only minor corrections are permissible at this stage in the production process. Alterations to the original manuscript at this point will result in considerable delay in publication and will therefore only be accepted if the author agrees to cove the ensuing costs. The contributors receive the galley proofs once. The page proofs are controlled by the editors. E-offprints A PDF file of the article will be supplied free of charge by the publisher to authors for personal use. Brill is a RoMEO yellow publisher. The Author retains the right to self-archive the submitted (pre-peer-review) version of the article at any time. The submitted version of an article is the author's version that has not been peer-reviewed, nor had any value added to it by Brill (such as formatting or copy editing). The Author retains the right to self-archive the accepted (peer-reviewed) version without any embargo period. The accepted version means the version which has been accepted for publication and contains all revisions made after peer reviewing and copy editing but has not yet been typeset in the publisher’s lay-out. The publisher’s lay-out must not be used in any repository or on any website (brill.com/resources/authors/publishing-books-brill/self-archiving-rights). Last revised on 12 April 2023 page 8 of 9
Journal of Literary Multilingualism brill.com/jlm Instructions for Authors License to Publish Transfer of Copyright By submitting a manuscript, the author agrees that the copyright for the article is transferred to the publisher if and when the article is accepted for publication. For that purpose, the author needs to sign the License to Publish form, which will be sent with the first proofs of the manuscript. Open Access Should the author wish to publish the article in Open Access he/she can choose the Brill Open option. This allows for non-exclusive Open Access publication under a Creative Commons license in exchange for an Article Publication Charge (APC), upon signing a special Brill Open Consent to Publish Form. More information on Brill Open can be found on brill.com/brillopen. Last revised on 12 April 2023 page 9 of 9
